Do UC's typically offer merit for OOS apps, like other state schools?

But, I haven’t seen many posts about any UC’s merit. Is this a thing, or not something UC’s offer? Particular interest in UCSB, UCI, UCD, UCLA.

Not a lot of merit in general at UCs. Regents scholarships are typically the biggest scholarships available, but most will not come close to the out-of-state added tuition (except possibly for students with financial need at UCB, UCD, and UCLA).
